Jimmer: More inches than people expect

Spot on.

These people that are ripping Jimmer today for being a ball hog and horrible on defense are starting to bug me. Yes, he is not a good defender but its obvious that in college he hasn't given 100% effort on defense because he plays the entire game and has to do sooooo much offensively for his team to win. In the NBA it will be totally different. He will be able to give much more effort on defense, although I'm sure he will still be a defensive liability, but more effort will be there.

As far as being a ball hog, his team depends on him sooooo much to score. He had to force shots. In the NBA he won't have to do that. He'll be able to create for others and hit open shots and won't have to force it so much.

well said - his role in the NBA is going to be nothing compared to his role at college....and I'm pretty sure that these things that everyone is complaining about (ball hog, laziness in defence) were part of the role required of him given the team around him......if it wasn't then his coach surely would have given him a rocket.

If JJ Redick can improve is D, I think Jimmer could too.
